Hey everyone! I just set up a greenhouse in my room and currently have a 4ft standing white Barrina grow light. While my plants like it (I have some tropicals like syngoniums, pothos, alocasias, and philodendrons), I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for better, possibly cheaper options!

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I'm still figuring things out. Here's a pic of my greenhouse for reference:  Any thoughts based on that?
I recommend looking into brands like Sansi instead of generic Amazon lights. They offer reliable products with good quality control. Full spectrum is key for all types of plants, and you can often find better deals directly on their site!
I really like these LED grow lights I found online. They've been working great for me! Just make sure to check the specs to find one that suits your needs!
If you're on a budget, generic cool-toned LED lights can work fine! I've been successfully using a daylight 'sad' lamp for my plants in a dark cabinet. You might also want to look into LED 'batten' lights, which can be linked together at a lower cost. They might not be the absolute best for plant absorption, but they’re way cheaper than specialized grow lights!
Here's a couple of helpful YouTube videos I found: 1. [Video 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTqNjIwk4jA) and 2. [Video 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HawgP5SXPko). They cover basics of setting them up!
